DRAMAministry has been in existence since the Spring of 2001. Since the very beginning God has had His hand in making this ministry happen. Tim King, Director of Ministries, was only 17 when the team started and feeling much inadequate for the job. However, through a step of faith and trust that God would provide for all our shortcomings, DRAMA began.

Although the vision for DRAMA was at that time small, God had other plans for this 8-member group of youth. God's vision was outside of our capacity to grasp.

During that first session, God began showing us that His vision was bigger than ours. One instance was when we acquired our Bibles. We needed Bibles for some of our mimes, and got in contact with a Gideon who could donate some Bibles to us. The request was made for twelve Bibles. We would never need more than that on our team (that was our rationale, anyway). That very next session, our team's size was fourteen.

That would be the start of many other events showing that our vision was simply too small. God has had bigger plans all throughout our growth. Since that start, we have grown to have three teams here in the area. We have even added younger kid's teams as well- entitled "Sprouts."

Some of the highlights of our history have been:
     

• Our first mini-tour in the Fall of '02 with the aid of our parent ministry- (http://www.aiminternational.org) ACTION Impact Missions.
• Three subsequent mini-tours down south in '03 and '04 with stops in Virginia, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
• We officially became an ACTION Impact Team the summer of 2005. This coincided with becoming a recognized 501-C3 organization.
• In Fall of '05, Phil Weaver took the role of Team Director. He stepped on board as the first full-time staff member next to Tim.
• In early 2006 DRAMA's first foreign missions trip went to the Island of Grenada.
• Late 2006 foreign missions continued with travels to England and Scotland.
•  May 2007, DRAMA returned to Grenada, after which Tim stayed as a pastor there an additional 6 weeks.
  
• In November of 2008 DRAMA returned to Scotland and worked closely with several churches in Burtisland and Kinghorn in ministry and discipleship. 

This only presents a small overview of the events in our ministry. The biggest highlight will never change though- God is with us. It has been a growing experience and a blessing to be a part of the ministry work God is bringing about in Lancaster County.
Discipling youth and equipping them with the foundations for the ministry God has in store for them is what we are all about. That highlight is always happening.
